Last Bush with a GOP Congress Deficit 2006: $169 Billion

Last 0 with a Dem Congress Deficit 2010: $1.7 trillion

But as usual you cannot be bothered with the facts when they confound your emotion based dogmas.

OH, so you give Bush a free pass for the astronomical spending in his last two years 2007 to 2008 because he lost control of the congress?? So the POTUS has nothing to do with spending?? Great defense for Obama to use, I am sure he will thank you.

What about the new entitlement Bush pushed in 2004 all tacked onto the national debt? He gets a pass on that too in 2007 to 2008?

Her list:

1) joined with open-borders progressives McCain and Kennedy to try to force shamnesty down our throats;

2) massively expanded the federal role in education;

3) championed the Medicare prescription drug entitlement using phony math;

4) kowtowed to the jihadi-enabling Saudis;

5) stocked DHS with incompetents and cronies;

6) pushed Hillarycare for housing;

7) enabled turncoat Arlen Specter;

8. nominated crony Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court;

9) pre-socialized the economy for Obama by embracing TARP, the auto bailouts, the AIG bailout, and in his own words:

I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.”
– George W. Bush

No, I don’t miss having a corporate socialist Republican in the White House any more than I like having a corporate socialist Democrat in the White House now.
